Today’s What We’re Reading features a new “report card” on the humanities, a helpful guide of digital humanities projects for early digital humanists, historian Jill Lepore on the limitation on the 21st-century culture of letters, and much more!

Jill Lepore, writing for the Chronicle of Higher Education, tackles the ramifications of the “new economy of letters” and argues that “more scholars are writing more words for less money than ever before.”

Yamini Naidu declares storytelling “the number one business skill for the 21st century,” and a new crop of consultants are rising in Melbourne’s corporate ladder to improve employee performance and teach the art of storytelling.
